"The future of photo printing at retail is highly dependent on consumers
changing their behavior of depositing digital images on their personal
computer, the electronic shoebox. To achieve behavior modification, retailers
will need to deploy and educate the market on creative print solutions such as
calendars, posters, and photo books." - Ron Glaz, program director, IDC' s
